Refrigerator Smells Bad – Westminster

If your refrigerator has a strong odor-like mildew, rotten food, or chemical smells-it’s more than just unpleasant. It could be a sign of bacterial growth, spoiled food, or a mechanical problem. In Westminster, Tonny’s Appliance Repair provides professional and long-lasting refrigerator odor removal.

Why Your Refrigerator Smells Bad

A fridge can smell for many reasons—even if it looks clean. Odors can hide in drip pans, air vents, door seals, or clogged drain lines.

 Most common causes:

• Spoiled food or leaking containers

• Clogged or moldy defrost drain

• Bacteria buildup in air ducts

• Mold growth in door gasket

• Dirty drip tray or drain pan under fridge

• Freon/refrigerant leak (chemical smell)

• Stagnant water in drain system

• Rotten food smell trapped after a power outage

What the Odor Might Mean

• • Rotten smell → Spoiled food or stagnant water

  • Sour or musty → Mold or bacterial buildup

  • Fishy or chemical → Refrigerant or insulation issue

  • Burnt or plastic smell → Overheated wiring or electronics
